Planet MicroCap Podcast | MicroCap Investing Strategies

NOTE

Focus on Niche Industries

The speaker mentions that despite being located in Texas, they do not focus on commodities and energy as it's considered a macro bet. They find biotech more appealing, making up around 25-26% of the companies they invest in. They prefer businesses with tangible aspects like reagent and pick and shuffle companies. This focused approach leaves around 1,200-1,300 companies in the small micro investment universe, which remains consistent over time despite professional competition. The strategy is qualitative, aiming to identify exceptionalism, solid management, growth potential, and high internal compounding in selected companies.
